Code of Conduct
Most useful clarifications for first-time visitors in Asia are:
- Naturism is nude – not clothing optional
- Phones and cameras require permission
- Respect personal space
Code of Conduct
Naturist Association Thailand (NAT) respects the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand regarding public decency. Naturist activities take place only in private membership environments and designated naturist facilities.
Naturism is a non-sexual lifestyle based on mutual respect. The dignity, privacy and personal integrity of every person must always be respected, especially that of children.
Naturism is about comfort, equality and respect for others.
Friendly and respectful behaviour between adults is natural, but sexual behaviour, harassment or unwanted advances are not acceptable in the common areas of NAT partner resorts.
NAT supports its partner resorts in maintaining a safe, relaxed and family-friendly environment.
Respectful Behaviour
Guests are expected to behave in a way that respects the comfort and privacy of others.
Respect personal space and social boundaries.
Unacceptable behaviour includes, but is not limited to:
- Behaviour of a sexual nature in public areas
- Unwanted advances or inappropriate touching
- Persistent staring, following or invading another person’s personal space
- Remarks, jokes, gestures or messages that are offensive or sexual in nature
- Continuing conversation after someone has clearly indicated they do not wish to engage
Photography
Photography and video recording require special care and respect for privacy.
Never photograph or film anyone without their permission.
- Permission must be obtained from everyone visible in the image
- Photographers must consider the privacy of others when choosing subject, angle and background
- Extra care must always be taken to protect the privacy of children
- Parents must give permission and be present if their child is photographed
Anyone who notices inappropriate photography should inform the staff immediately.
Complaints and Enforcement
Guests are encouraged to help maintain a respectful atmosphere by informing staff if they experience or observe behaviour that violates this Code of Conduct.
Resorts may report serious violations to NAT. NAT may investigate and take appropriate action.
Serious breaches may result in expulsion from NAT membership and refusal of entry to NAT partner resorts.
If Thai criminal law is violated, the matter will be handled by the relevant authorities.
Resort Etiquette
We strive to offer a genuine naturist experience for both Thai naturists and visiting international guests. Please help us maintain a respectful and relaxed environment.
Respect others
Be friendly and polite, but respect privacy. If someone does not wish to engage in conversation, please respect their choice.
Sit on a towel
Please carry a towel with you and always sit on it.
Smoking
Smoking is allowed only in designated areas. Please ask staff if you are unsure.
Singles and couples
Both singles and couples are welcome when they understand and respect the non-sexual nature of naturism.
Minimum age is 18, except for children accompanied by parents or legal guardians.
Inclusive environment
Naturism welcomes people of all backgrounds and orientations.
Visitors
Friends may visit you at the resort if they understand and respect the naturist environment.
Visitors must follow the same rules and guidelines as registered guests.
Bringing short-term sexual partners to the resort is not acceptable.
Clothing
NAT partner resorts are clothes-free environments.
Naturism means being nude. Clothing is normally not worn in naturist areas.
Guests are expected to participate in the naturist experience and remain nude in areas where naturism is practiced. Even tiny swimwear is not accepted.
Walking around the resort in normal street clothes is discouraged because nudity helps create the relaxed and equal atmosphere that naturism promotes.
First-time naturists may take a little time to feel comfortable. Towels or sarongs may be used temporarily while adjusting to the environment.
Women may wear bottoms during their monthly period if they prefer.
Membership
Hotel guests who are not members of a recognized naturist organization are asked to join Naturist Association Thailand and become part of our friendly community.
This membership requirement ensures that the resort operates as a private membership facility, which supports the legal framework for naturism within the resort.
Membership provides access to NAT activities, events and our online community.
Hi Gregers
Can you send me a map of naturist resorts or a list of the resorts? I can’t open the webpage through google.com because google does not work in China…I may work in Rayong City of Thailand from next year, so will have more chances to visit or stay in these resorts…Thanks for your working on NAT.
